There is no point in arguing about peoples opinions, nothing said here is going to change anyone’s opinion on the markets or the people / professionals in them. Being both a CBOE and NYSE member and having traded on the floor as both an institutional market maker and an independent market maker lets just say I don’t agree with your opinion. I my 20 years in the business I have seen some excellent traders, some excellent investors and some very poor ones... plus every kind between the two.

The markets serve a function in the global world and global economy, they’re not without risk and for those who are not comfortable with that kind of risk there are hundreds of other investment.

I don’t know Cramer personally, although I met him once, I do know about his record outside the glitz of TV it’s well documented and his record says he does know something and has done very well over the years.

When I hear the term “player” it makes me think of some greasy guy in a vette with lots of gold chains and money to burn who thinks he can compete vs. the professionals in the markets while sitting at home.... but that’s just my opinion.
